I think the IR tint has a bluish hue, but it's biggest advantage is the heat rejection. It's better than any ceramic tint, but I don't know if it's worth it. Where we live, it doesn't even get that hot.

it's better than any ceramic tint? is that right? hmmm, when i tested it at MFEST last year, i'm pretty sure i felt the difference more with the Huper Nanoceramic... but maybe i was on some type of hallucinogenic...

you're naturally skinny from what i can see so you may be a hard gainer... you definitely need to find out your resting metabolic rate. it basically determines the amount of calories your body burns while laying in bed blinking and breathing all day. that's all. once you determine your RMR you can adjust the amount of calories you intake and combine it with your workout... If you eat MORE CALORIES then you burn on daily basis then, NATURALLY, you'll gain weight. that's the easy part.

here's the hard part: selecting the right foods to intake and trying to eat the amount you need to gain. Example: let's say your RMR is 2000. So you burn 2000 calories blinking and laying in bed. With your workout and just staying active throughout the day you're probably burning around 2700-3200 calories per day... you'd need to intake AT LEAST 3500-4000 calories per day.

when i was CUTTING weight... my RMR was 2800, i ate every 2.5-3 hours but i still kept my calories UNDER 2000/day. so WITHOUT working out i was already burning around 800-1000cal per day... add my workout which was a minimum of 400cal jogging, 800cal jumping rope and 800cal weightlifting... I was burning everything i would put in my body lol. way overboard! friends thought i had cancer or something cause i lost so much weight in a 6-month period.

i have a list of good foods and "bad" foods you should and shouldn't eat... If you're really trying to gain lean muscle mass then you've gotta start counting calories AND amount of protein your intaking per day. you should be eating anywhere from 1-1.5g x your body weight. so if you weight 150 lbs you'll be eating around 150-225g of protein along with other foods (carbs/healthy fats). if you want a personal trainer: i can help set that up also... i don't know if you've heard of J-Scratch from Q1047... he recently started training a few people i know. If I wasn't going to school, i'd offer to train you haha

how would i find out my RMR? im guessing its pretty daum high, but as far as being a hard gainer i dont think i am i just have never really tried until now to gain weight soo we'll see.

as far as protein goes im taking 3 or 2 shakes as of yesterday. should i be taking a daily vita too? soo basically just eat as much food as possible. do you have that list of food or some how give it to me?

thanks btw

i can give you the list... that's not a prob. as long as i remember to print it hahaha.

no, don't eat as much food as possible. it has to be the proper measurements... proper portion control of protein, carbs and fats. But in your case of gaining, maybe double portions of the proteins. how calories in the shakes? who makes the shakes? how much protein is in the shakes? is it case-in protein? whey protein??

you cant just drink shakes and eat all you can to gain weight properly... you CAN do that way you described BUT be prepared for it to turn all to fat if you stop working out.

Well, when I looked in the thread from the tint company (I'll have to look for the link), they posted the results and the IR tint was the best, but who knows if the test was rigged or not. Anyway, I'm not going to pay for that tint lol. I think I'll go with Huper and if you can hook me up, even better!

no i'd lean more towards my last part of the last post. VEGAS!!!

at Bimmerfest if Hann is there you might be able to test it to see for yourself

I just think that when you're young, you have the opportunity to do things that you can't do once you're older/tied down. I know anything can change, but I don't plan on getting married til my mid 30's. I have a lot of things that I want to do before marriage.

I hear you.

Except I want to get married before 30 cause I want to have my kid before I'm 30... this is all assuming I become where I want to be financially.

If I cannot provide for my wife and kids as well as myself with my expensive hobbies... then I don't feel I'm ready to have kids.
We'll see.. when I was 19 I proposed..and was 'in love' etc... yeah that didn't work out... completely changed the way I view women as well..long story

Sleep with women from different countries when you travel to those countries.

But, considering Adam mentioned they have had their on and offs... maybe she would be understanding? Not sure.. it's a long shot with some girls... I know Hannah would never be down.....

And this:

Huper Optik has always been my first choice, but once I looked at the IR tint, I wanted to go with that. I think the IR tint is ridiculously expensive, though...

I'll let you know when I'm ready to get my car tinted. Should be soon!

Lmk when you want grills reflectors etc

What's IR tint ?

I do want to travel, yes. Who knows, maybe I'll go alone. I really enjoy being alone.

And when you're with somebody, it's not so much about not being able to do things, but it's more about being able to get up and do things on a whim. When you're alone, you can do whatever you want, but most importantly (for me, at least), whenever you want.

Yeah it's hard to find someone that shares many of the same interests..
Personally... I think if you and your significant other share too many interests... it gets boring
I like my women to be interested in what I am to an extent... I like them to have their own likes and dislikes.
I guess the saying "opposites attract" really applies to me
Personally... I hate being alone, I can't stand it....

Yea, I know what you mean. I saw one of your previous posts saying how you wanted to be the sole provider of the family and how you wanted your wife to do whatever you want (wasn't sure if you were serious about that lol).

Also, you and your long stories... but you never end up telling us. You like to leave us hanging, huh?

I have 2 finals on Monday so I need to study this weekend. I'm going to go to the meet on Sunday so I can't afford to go to Bimmerfest on Saturday.

I am serious; I mean, I'm all for my wife working and having a career etc... but when kids come, that needs to become priority.
I don't want my children raised by a nanny..and I love my mom, but I don't want her raising my kids.
I've seen with my own eyes what happens when a child is raised by his mother vs being raised by someone else.
Also, the #1 cause for divorce is money...and next children.
I don't want money to be an issue and I want good, happy and healthy children.

Infrared tint... never seen or heard of it... I'd love to sit in a car with it.

Long stories are best left for in person discussion versus online chats

When I read that you wanted your wife to do whatever you wanted, I immediately thought of that movie Not Without My Daughter
